Overview
Market Overview: The Rise of DeFi and Layer 2 Solutions
The decentralized finance (DeFi) space has experienced incredible growth
in the past few years, with billions of dollars locked in various protocols,
products, and services. This growth has been driven by the pursuit for
financial autonomy, and transparency: the core of DeFi's ethos. As a result,
innovative platforms have emerged that offer lending, borrowing, staking,
and other financial services that were once the sole domain of traditional
financial institutions such as banks and governments that work behind a
smoke screen.

Ethereum Network and Scalability Challenges

The majority of DeFi projects are built on the Ethereum network, which is
renowned for its smart contract functionality and vast developer
community. However, the rapid growth of DeFi has exposed the network's
limitations, particularly regarding scalability. High transaction fees and slow
confirmation times have become a significant concern for users and
developers, making it necessary to look for alternative solutions that ensure
the continued growth of DeFi.

Why zkSync? A Layer 2 solution

Layer 2 solutions have emerged as a promising answer to Ethereum's
scalability challenges. By performing transactions and computations off-
chain, Layer 2 solutions can increase the network's throughput while
maintaining security and decentralization. The most interesting Layer 2
solution is zkSync, which employs zero-knowledge proofs to enable fast and
secure transactions at a fraction of the gas fees on the Ethereum mainnet.
Overview
Growing Demand for simpler DeFi Platforms
As the DeFi landscape continues to evolve, there is an increasing demand
for easy-to-understand platforms that cater to a wide range of user needs.
Developers, founders, and investors are seeking user-friendly, secure, and
efficient tools that simplify their interactions in DeFi. This demand presents a
significant opportunity for platforms like Whisper that provide an all-in-one
solution for all projects, founders, developers, and investors on zkSync,
addressing the needs of the DeFi community.

The Need for Education and Security

As more people enter the DeFi space, the need for education and security
grows along. Investors should have a clear understanding of the risks and
benefits associated with DeFi and there should always be easily accessible
content to learn how to navigate the space safely. Additionally, platforms
must prioritize transparency and security, ensuring that users feel confident
in the security and safety of their investments. Platforms that address these
concerns and instill trust within the community will play a vital role in the
continued growth and adoption of DeFi for years to come.
 Solutions
The solutions Whisper offers to projects on zkSync
Whisper (WISP) offers an extensive range of DeFi tools, products, and services
that cater to the needs of developers, founders, and investors. Our platform is
divided into four main categories: Tools, DeFi, Effortless No-Code Solutions for
Launching Your Own Project, and Games. In this section, we will explore each
category in detail, highlighting the unique value propositions and use cases that
make Whisper a comprehensive DeFi platform.

Tools
Whisper's collection of tools is designed to enhance security, promote
transparency, and simplify the DeFi experience for users. These tools include:
1. Token Locker: The Token Locker allows project creators to lock a portion of
their tokens for a predetermined period. By locking team tokens or other tokens
that don’t need to be in circulation, they demonstrate commitment to the project
and build trust within the community. Locked tokens cannot be accessed or sold
by anyone during the lock period, preventing malicious behavior. The Token
Locker offers customizable lock durations, and the locked tokens can be claimed
manually upon the lock's expiration.

2. Liquidity Locker: Liquidity is an essential factor in the success of any DeFi

project, as it enables users to trade tokens easily and at a fair price. The Liquidity
Locker tool ensures that project creators cannot suddenly withdraw their
provided liquidity from decentralized exchanges (DEX), which could destabilize
the token's price. By locking liquidity, project creators signal their long-term
commitment to the project and build trust among investors.

3. Lock Viewer: The Lock Viewer is a user-friendly interface that enables users to
verify a project's locked tokens and liquidity. By providing easy access to this
information, Whisper enhances transparency and enables users to make
informed investment decisions. The Lock Viewer displays the total amount of
locked tokens, liquidity, and the lock expiration dates.

4. MultiSender: Distributing tokens to multiple addresses can be a time-

consuming and costly process. The Whisper MultiSender tool simplifies this
process by allowing users to send tokens to multiple recipients with a single
transaction. This tool is particularly useful for conducting airdrops, distributing
rewards, or managing token allocations after presales, or for team members and
advisors.

 Solutions
DeFi
Whisper's DeFi category consists of a range of financial products and
services that enable users to earn passive income and grow their
investments. These offerings include:

1. Staking: Staking is a popular method for users to earn passive income.

Whisper's staking platform allows users to stake their $WISP tokens and earn
a share of the platform's revenue. As the ecosystem expands and more
products and services are offered, stakers will benefit from increased
rewards, making staking an attractive long-term investment strategy.
2. LP Farming: Liquidity Providers (LPs) are essential for the smooth
functioning of decentralized exchanges, as they supply the required liquidity
for trading. Whisper's LP farming platform allows users to stake their LP
tokens and earn additional rewards, such as a share of the platform's fees,
or other incentives. This feature encourages users to become liquidity
providers, contributing to the overall liquidity and success of the ecosystem.
3. Pools: Pools are a unique addition to staking and LP farming. They allow
for partnerships, where $WISP holders can stake their tokens to earn passive
income in our partner’s token, or they can stake a combination of $WISP
and our partner’s token, for rewards or more of our partner’s token.
Pools could also include new LP pairs for $WISP, such as stable coins, a
future zkSync native token pair, and others.
 Solutions
Effortless, No-Code Solutions for Launching Your Own Project
Whisper's no-code solutions empower users with minimal or no coding
experience to launch their own DeFi projects by providing a set of easy-to-
use tools. These tools include:

1. Contract Deployer: The Contract Deployer allows users to deploy smart

contracts on zkSync without any coding knowledge. Users can customize
the contract parameters, such as token name, symbol, supply, tax, max buy,
max wallet, and other functions through a user-friendly interface. This tool
significantly reduces the barriers to entry for launching projects on zkSync
and enables more people to participate in the decentralized finance
revolution. Each contract launched through the Whisper Contract Deployer
automatically locks their liquidity in our liquidity locker.

2. Launchpad: Whisper's Launchpad is a platform for new projects to

conduct their presales and distribute tokens to pre-launch investors. The
Launchpad simplifies the process of launching a new project by providing a
streamlined, easy-to-use platform for conducting these presales. Project
creators can customize their token sale parameters, such as start and end
dates, token price, and individual allocation limits. The Launchpad also
includes built-in security features such as a badge for audited projects,
automated liquidity locking, automated token locking for projects that have
vesting on part of the presale allocation.
 Solutions
Games
Adding a fun element to the DeFi ecosystem, Whisper offers a range of
engaging games that allow users to put their knowledge and skills to the
test while potentially earning rewards. These games include:

Zero Sum Games: Whisper's zero sum games offer users the opportunity to
compete against each other in various scenarios. These games not only
provide an enjoyable way to engage with the DeFi ecosystem but also
create a sense of community among users.

The first game: Predictions: The predictions game enables users to bet on
the outcome of the price of a specific token in a set time period. Players bet
on “Up”, or on “Down” which represents the price action of that token in the
set time period (for example: 5 minutes). If a player bets on Up and they
guessed correct, they win their share of the Down pool, based on their share
of the Up pool.
If player X bets Up for 1 ETH and there is 10 ETH in the Up pool, their bet
represents 10% of said pool. They then win 10% of the Down pool, no matter
the size of that pool.

Whisper's four main categories of offerings cater to the diverse needs of the
crypto community, providing a comprehensive suite of tools, products, and
services. The platform's focus on security, transparency, and ease of use
ensures a seamless and enjoyable experience for developers, founders,
investors.
Tokenomics
The Whisper ($WISP) token is designed to fuel and incentivize the growth of
our DeFi ecosystem, ensuring that our platform remains accessible, secure,
and user-friendly. In this section, we will discuss the tokenomics of $WISP,
outlining the allocation and utility of the token within the Whisper
ecosystem.

No Taxes on $WISP

$WISP is a no tax token. There are no taxes on trading, or any of the

interactions with the Whisper platform. When buying or selling $WISP on a
DEX, make sure to set your slippage tolerance to a low number, ideally as
close to 0,1% as possible to get the best price for your buy or sell.

Token Allocation
The total supply of $WISP tokens is distributed as follows:
1. Circulating Supply (50%): Half of the total supply of $WISP tokens is
currently in circulation, providing ample liquidity for users to trade, stake,
and participate in the various DeFi products and services available on the
Whisper platform.

2. Staking Rewards (10%): To incentivize users to stake their $WISP tokens,

10% of the total supply is allocated to staking rewards. These rewards are
distributed to users who choose to stake their tokens and will be distributed
over an 18 to 24 month period.

3. LP Farming Rewards (20%): In order to encourage users to provide

liquidity to the $WISP token pools, 20% of the total supply is reserved for
liquidity provider (LP) farming rewards. Users who stake their $WISP tokens
in the LP pools will earn a share of these rewards, promoting a healthy and
liquid market for the token. Just like with staking, these rewards will be
distributed over an 18 to 24 month period.

Tokenomics
4. Future CEX Listings (7.5%): To facilitate the growth and expansion of the
$WISP token ecosystem, 7.5% of the total supply is allocated for future
centralized exchange (CEX) listings. This allocation will ensure that the token
is accessible to a wider audience and supports the long-term growth and
adoption of the Whisper platform.

5. Future Fundraising and Partnerships (10%): In order to secure strategic

partnerships and funding for the ongoing development and growth of the
Whisper platform, 10% of the total supply is reserved for future fundraising
and partnership initiatives.

6. Onboarding Future Team Members (2.5%): To attract and retain talent

within the blockchain and DeFi space, 2.5% of the total supply is allocated
for onboarding new team members. This allocation will help to ensure that
Whisper maintains and grows a strong, skilled, and dedicated team to drive
the platform's ongoing success.

Token Utility

The $WISP token serves as the central component of the Whisper

ecosystem, driving value and utility across our DeFi platform. Users who
stake or provide liquidity for $WISP tokens can earn a share of the platform's
revenue, participate in governance, and benefit from the platform's growth.
As the Whisper ecosystem expands and the demand for our DeFi tools and
products increases, the value proposition of the $WISP token will continue to
strengthen, solidifying its role as the backbone of our platform.

Revenue sharing
Revenue Sharing in the Whisper Ecosystem

In the Whisper ecosystem, revenue is generated through fees associated

with the use of various tools and products. This revenue is then shared
among the $WISP token holders, who play a crucial role in the platform's
growth and sustainability.
The distribution of the revenue generated is as follows:

WISP Team (25%): A quarter of the revenue is allocated to the WISP team to
support ongoing development, marketing initiatives, salaries for hired team
members, and the overall growth of the Whisper ecosystem. This ensures
that the team has the necessary resources to continue building and
improving the platform, thereby maintaining its competitive edge in the
DeFi space.

Stakers and LP Farmers (75%): The majority of the revenue (75%) is

distributed among the stakers and LP farmers of the $WISP token. This
rewards those who actively participate in the Whisper ecosystem by staking
or providing liquidity, incentivizing them to continue supporting the
platform.

Single Asset Stakers (60%): 60% of the rewards are allocated to users
who stake their $WISP tokens.
LP farming (40%): The remaining 40% of the rewards are designated for
LP Farmers, providing additional value to the ecosystem.

Revenue sharing

Within the 75% allocated to stakers and LP farmers, up to 10% could be set
aside for strategic partners on zkSync who provide exceptional support in
terms of funding, grants, or other resources that contribute significantly to
the growth of Whisper. This ensures that valuable partners are rewarded for
their contributions and encourages further collaboration.

As a result, at least 65% of all revenue generated by the platform will always
be distributed to stakers and LP providers, creating a sustainable and
attractive incentive for users to participate in the Whisper ecosystem.

By implementing this revenue-sharing model, Whisper aims to foster a

robust and thriving community, where users are rewarded for their
participation and commitment to the platform. This, in turn, contributes to
the overall success and growth of the Whisper ecosystem and the DeFi
space at large.
